Suppose $A$ is a non-unital $C^*$ algebra,$B$ is another $C^*$ algebra.Suppose $phi:Arightarrow B$ is a non-zero $*$ homomorphism and $x_0$ is a normal elememt in $A$,by continuous functional calculus,we have $phi(f(x_0))=f(phi(x_0))$ for any $fin C_0(sigma_{A}(x_0))$ .My question is:can we choose a function $fin C_0(sigma_{A}(x_0))$ such that $|phi(f(x_0))|>1$?

    If you can find a function $f$ such that $phi(f)neq0$, can you see why this is true?

By Urysohn's lemma, we can always choose a continuous function that vanishes at infinity with $f(z)=10000$ at a fixed point $z$. So, $|phi(f(x_0))|=|f(phi(x_0))|=|f|>9999$.

  • $begingroup$
    Probably, the OP wants that $f(phi(x_0)) in B$ and so one should also require that $f(0) = 0$. This however is no problem, since the spectrum of $phi(x_0)$ contains points other than zero. E.g. $f(z) = lambda z$ for some large $lambda > 0$.
